Internationalisation strategies for South Korean education providers

South Korea is actively working to attract 300,000 international students by 2030 through the Ministry of Education’s Korea 300K project, addressing its shrinking workforce and enhancing its higher education profile. Key strategies include expanding internship opportunities, simplifying work permits for students, and extending post-study visas to three years. While visa restrictions exist for some developing countries, efforts are underway to expand eligibility. These measures, combined with affordable living costs, fast visa processing, and a growing range of English-taught programmes, are attracting increasing numbers of international students

Given these favorable conditions, South Korean institutions now have a crucial role to play in achieving the ambitious Korea 300K target by actively revisiting their internationalisation efforts and exploring new, innovative international student recruitment strategies and partnerships.

In this exclusive webinar, we therefore:

• Discuss South Korea’s appeal, potential, and ambitions as a study destination.
• Assess recruitment strategies for educators to attract more international students.
• Examine successful recruitment partnerships from leading institutions in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
• Interview South Korean and international education professionals about their successful recruitment experiences.
